Wei Zheng could understand Li Ke's words. In fact, he didn't care. As Li Ke said, Wei Zheng did represent a powerful family, but in fact Wei Zheng was different from other ministers.
Wei Zheng used to be Li Jiancheng's man, but later Li Shimin kept him sincerely. Of course Wei Zheng also knew that the reason why Li Shimin kept him was because Li Shimin didn't want to kill so many people, and he didn't want the newly unified Tang Dynasty to rise again.
Li Shimin accepted him, and the other ministers and generals who followed Li Jiancheng could rest assured that Li Shimin would not kill them, and then the world would naturally be at peace.
So Wei Zheng was willing to be this chess piece. He didn't want the world to be in chaos, and he didn't want so many people to be killed by Li Shimin, which would shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. He had seen the tragic situation in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, so he knew the harm of the world in chaos.
But after following Li Shimin, some of Wei Zheng's original behaviors needed to change. He needed to be a solitary minister. It didn't matter whether his previous wealthy families supported him or not, and Wei Zheng didn't care anymore.
So now, there really isn't anyone behind Wei Zheng.
Because those wealthy families also understand the choice Wei Zheng made, and they also know that even if they ask Wei Zheng to speak for them, Wei Zheng will not do it.
"Then if nothing happens to you, Mr. Zheng Guo, the day after tomorrow will remember to support me." Li Ke waved his hand.
Wei Zheng: "..."
Forget it, forget it, slip away, out of sight.
Before leaving, Wei Zheng glanced at the memorials piled on the table, the memorials thrown on the ground, and Li Ke's movements.
Forget it, this is the part that makes His Majesty angry, it has nothing to do with me.
Wei Zheng left simply, while Chang Lin next to him was extremely speechless. Zheng Guogong paid by mistake after all. If His Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and His Highness the Crown Prince knew about this, I don't know how sad they would be.
After Wei Zheng left, Li Ke continued to read the memorial. He read it very quickly. In Chang Lin's opinion, Li Ke just flipped through it and threw it aside without knowing what the use was. Isn't this just a quick glance at the memorial? has no meaning?
However, these things were not certain for him. However, at the speed at which His Highness King Qin was reading the memorials, the thick piles of memorials on the table were all disappearing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
"By the way, Chang Lin, you go to the three provinces and bring over all the reports from previous years, uh, five years ago, on spring plowing, disaster prevention, labor distribution, river dredging, and various criminal cases, including I also brought over the memorials and memorials from various small countries in previous years." Li Ke said.
"Your Highness...this is a huge number." Chang Lin was shocked.
"I know, just bring it over." Li Ke waved his hand.
"Yes." Chang Lin was a little confused and didn't know what His Highness was going to do, but Chang Lin quickly took people to move the memorial.
So the imperial guards, young eunuchs, and officials on duty in the three provinces all saw a strange scene today. Chang Lin led people to move baskets of old memorials to the Liangyi Palace.
Soon, not only Li Ke's desk, but also the floor in front of his desk was covered with memorials, and then he entered the same mode of reading memorials as before.
Today Li Ke didn't even leave the palace, but slept directly in Liangyi Hall because he kept seeing Sishi while reading the memorial. On the second day of the Shangyuan Festival, Li Ke did not do anything else. He spent the whole day reading memorials. The Shangyuan Festival was mainly lively at night. Although there were various activities during the day, Li Ke was not interested for the time being. He had a lot of things here. There are a lot of memorials.
Li Ke's behavior made Li Shimin come over to see if he had a fever.
"Are you okay? I heard from Chang Lin that you asked for all the relevant memorials from the fifth year of Zhenguan to the present. Have you read them all? Are you possessed?" Li Shimin was a little confused.
"Go, go, dad, don't make trouble if you have nothing to do. Hurry up and accompany my mother, my mother, and the others to watch the singing and dancing. Let's have dinner together and visit Chang'an City in the evening. I'm still busy, good boy." Li Ke didn't even raise his head. He was still reading the memorial in silence, but now he no longer had the same view as before. Of course, he was still reading so fast, mainly because he had a pen next to him to record it.
Li Shimin: "..."
He wanted to beat up this bastard, but seeing him like this later, showing his rare diligence, Li Shimin finally left.
Li Ke was busy until the evening before he stretched out and left Liangyi Palace to have a meal with Li Shimin and others. Then he left the palace with Li Shimin and others who had changed into casual clothes.
The Shangyuan Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, later known as the Lantern Festival, Lantern Festival, and Lantern Festival.
There is also no curfew in Chang'an City tonight, and every household and merchant has hung up all kinds of lanterns made by themselves. The east and west cities of Chang'an are even more colorful. Today, the women from all the brothels in Chang'an City have been invited to lanterns. Various merchants in the two cities performed music and singing.
Li Ke did not go out with Li Shimin and the others after dinner, but rushed back to the Prince Qin's Mansion in Chang'an City early to pick up Li Yan, Yang Anning and the others.
She rushed back to Chang'an all the way from the Western Regions, and Li Ke had to spend the Lantern Festival with her, and what Sun Simiao said had nothing to do with it.
When Li Ke arrived at Prince Qin's Mansion in Chang'an City, Li Yan and Yang Anning were already ready to travel.
Looking at the beauties dressed up today, especially Li Yan, after more than a day of rest, her energy has recovered a lot. Although the skin on her face has not recovered, her original beautiful appearance can already be seen.
"Let's go, let's go!" Li Ke waved his hand and said with a smile.
Just kidding, the five or six around him are all top beauties. In his previous life, Li Ke could not find any of them. In this life, he can travel with five or six of them at the same time.
"Your Highness, did you make a wish with Zigu?" Li Yan was a little shy. After all, it was her first time traveling with Li Ke. Especially when she returned to Chang'an this time, her mentality was different.
"I made a promise." Li Ke said with a smile. Zigu is the toilet god and has the ability to predict the future. On the Lantern Festival, every household must make a wish to Zigu.
When taking Li Yan and the others out, Li Ke also noticed that there was an offering table at the door of his home, Prince Qin's Mansion, with bean porridge and other pastries for sacrifice. This was to worship the God of Silkworms, and they raised silkworms at home. Everyone will offer sacrifices like this, and almost all wealthy families will offer sacrifices.
They went out and got on the carriage. There were fewer people in the palace city where they were, but the doorways of every house were filled with various lanterns.
By the time they left the palace and walked onto Zhuque Street, the more than 100-meter-wide Zhuque Street was already crowded with people! Various lanterns on both sides have been spread all over Chang'an City. In this ancient time, a city with brilliant lights that never sleeps was created no less than a thousand years later.
