In particular, a very magical figure appeared among his descendants, Li Wei's great-grandson Li Guorui during the Chongzhen Dynasty!
During the Chongzhen Dynasty, finances were tight. Xue Guoguan, the capital at that time, suggested to him that he could borrow money from hundreds of officials! So Chongzhen felt that a relative he trusted should take the lead, so he asked Li Guorui, Marquis of Wuqing, to make an example and donate money.
As a result, Li Guorui not only refused to pay the money and complained to the emperor about his poverty, but also pretended to put the furniture and appliances on the street to sell! The finally angry Emperor Chongzhen ordered to deprive him of his title! In the end, Li Guorui was still timid and actually died of fright!
It will be more interesting to see how things develop later! After Li Guorui's death, Emperor Chongzhen continued to borrow money from officials and nobles, but they were unwilling to pay, so the relatives joined together to bribe the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and took advantage of the fifth prince's illness to make a fuss!
They spread rumors that the Queen Mother Xiaoding had become the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva. She blamed the emperor in the fairy world for treating his wife poorly, so she used her magic power to cause many princes to die early! After they die, gods will descend on the fifth prince!
As a result, Emperor Chongzhen believed this ridiculous rumor! Historical records record: "The emperor was so frightened that he urgently ordered Guorui's seven-year-old son Chunshan to wait for him and return the gold and silver he received!"
In other words, because of this incident, Li Wei's fifth-generation grandson Li Cunshan was named a Marquis when he was still young, and all the gold and silver confiscated from Li Guorui was returned. This is also a strange news!
At this time, Wu Qingbo was a relative, different from the real nobles, so they did not have a deep relationship with each other. What's more, because Wu Qingbo's family is usually too greedy and doesn't even care about food and appearance, it has aroused the disgust of many nobles!
After all, the honorable nobles knew how to use tableware when eating people, but Wu Qingbo and his family just grabbed it! So everyone saw that it was Wu Qingbo's family members who stood up, and many nobles present showed disdain! But they didn't speak. Instead, they watched how Liu Haojia responded!
In fact, Liu Haojia also recognized this person! But he still asked deliberately: "Who are you and which family do you represent?"
When the people present heard this, they burst into low laughter! They could feel his attitude from Liu Haojia's question, and they were naturally happy!
However, the man was not angry. Instead, he held up his hands and said, "The villain's surname is Li, and he is the steward of Uncle Wu Qing's Mansion."
Liu Haojia said: "It turns out to be Butler Li. What, do you have any objection to this matter?"
Butler Li said: "Mr. Liu, our Uncle Wu Qing's Mansion is His Majesty's maternal family. Moreover, the Queen Mother is still taking care of the Li family in the palace, so I think that the business of the capital should be handed over to Uncle Wu Qing's Mansion! Even if you are a member of your Majesty's family, We, Uncle Wu Qing’s Mansion, can take charge of it, and I think the Queen Mother and Your Majesty will also feel at ease!”
When everyone heard this, they immediately made a noise, because they really didn't expect Wu Qingbo's mansion to be so shameless! But they looked at Liu Haojia with more interest to see how he would respond?
I saw Liu Haojia smiling and saying: "You mean that the capital market is controlled by Wu Qingbo's house, and even His Majesty's members are controlled by you! Then I want to know, where is our Liu family's share?"
Butler Li said proudly: "Mr. Liu, didn't you just assign a position to our Uncle Wu Qing's Mansion? I think it's a very good position! And you happen to be an earl as well, so why don't you just take over the position in Uncle Wu Qing's Mansion? !”
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this! I’ve seen food that tastes bad, but I’ve never seen it this bad! Uncle Wu Qing's Mansion actually drove away the person who provided the recipe and process. This is simply too outrageous! If everyone does this, who will do business with Xungui!
So immediately a group of people stood up and reprimanded him, and some even shouted angrily: "Butler Li, your appearance is too ugly! Have you never seen silver in Uncle Wu Qing's house?"
Liu Haojia glanced at the people who supported him and found that they were all from noble families with relatively low status. As for the three housekeepers of the Duke's Mansion, they sat there steadily and did not move. Instead, they stared at Liu Haojia with great interest to see what he was doing. response.
Liu Haojia understood their plan. If he couldn't cope with it well, they would use the help of Uncle Wu Qing's house to squeeze him out of the glassware business. By the way, they would fight according to the rules of the nobles. Those old nobles would definitely get bigger rewards. share, rather than the relatively balanced share it is now.
Thinking of this, Liu Haojia waved his hands to signal everyone to calm down, and then he laughed and said: "Butler Li, as everyone said, your uncle Wu Qing's house has a huge appetite! Could it be that the life of Mr. Wu Qing's house can't go on anymore?"
Butler Li said with a smile: "How could it be! Thanks to the Queen Mother's care, life in the mansion can still go on!"
After he finished speaking, he looked carefully at Liu Haojia's face to see what he could see on his face. Unfortunately he didn't see anything!
In fact, Liu Haojia was not worried at all, because he knew that Emperor Wanli would not be able to use much of the money he received, and most of it would probably have to be handed over to the treasury. The remaining half can be spent on yourself and your harem. Coupled with the fact that Lao Zhu’s family always loves money as much as life, I’m afraid it won’t be what he wants!
So he raised a finger and said: "Butler Li, I will give you three choices now! The first choice is, you sit down, I will pretend that this has never happened!"
Butler Li said nonchalantly: "What about the second choice?"
Liu Haojia raised his second finger and said: "The second option is the easiest. I will have you thrown out now, and your family will be checked off the list. Your family's share will be evenly distributed among the other families!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately became commotion, and it seemed that they all wanted Wu Qingbo and Liu Haojia to confront each other! In particular, the nobles who were in the same area as him were even more excited. They wished that Wu Qingbo's Mansion would withdraw so that they could get more shares!
Hearing Liu Haojia's unkind words, Butler Li widened his eyes and said in surprise: "How dare you say that? Aren't you afraid of the Queen Mother's punishment?"
Liu Haojia ignored him, raised his third finger and said, "The third way is, you bring me Long Live Lord's imperial edict, and I will do as you say! Now you choose!"
After speaking, Liu Haojia waved his hand, and the eight uniformed guards who had been standing in the four corners of the house, with no sense of presence, took a step forward together! The heavy footsteps reminded Butler Li that he was now in Shiweizhai, not Wu Qingbo's Mansion! "
At this time, Butler Li's beard was sticking out in anger! In the past, they, Wu Qingbo Mansion, relied on Empress Dowager Li to run rampant in the capital, but they had never encountered such a tough one today! He really wanted to say, I will ask my master to meet the Queen Mother right now! But he really didn’t dare!
