Chang'an City.
Because of Wei Zheng's resignation, people suddenly became interested in the pension insurance plan.
Think about it, Wei Zheng was Shangshu Zuopushe, and because the prince did not agree with the pension insurance plan, he gave up his official position and left.
Shangshu Zuopushe was a highly respected minister.
If you say you won’t do it, then you won’t do it?
This always arouses people's curiosity.
At that time, the contents of the pension insurance plan were widely known.
Regarding this plan, some people in Chang'an City are happy, but naturally some are opposed to it.
Du He gathered a lot of people and publicized the inappropriateness of this plan everywhere.
There are quite a few people who believe it to be true.
After more than ten days of preparation, Li Tai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Zheng resigned as soon as he said he would, but Li Tai was very angry.
"Then where is Wei Xuancheng? Why has there been no news for so long?" Li Tai asked.
He was worried that Wei Zheng had disappeared.
Especially, if Wei Zheng runs away from the emperor, he should tell the emperor about Li Tai.
Doesn't the emperor want to clean up himself?
When Zhao Chen fanned the flames again, wouldn't it be...
"After Wei Zheng returned, he never left the house. The housekeeper of the Wei house came out to buy groceries every day."
"And what I buy every day is what Wei Zheng likes to eat."
"She should be at home." Du He and Li Tai said.
Li Tai frowned. He felt that Du He's suggestion that he should be at home was unreliable.
Wei Zheng is a great person.
I haven't shown up for so many days, I'm afraid he's no longer in Chang'an.
"How is the situation over there in Goguryeo?" Li Tai couldn't care less whether Wei Zheng was at home or in Jiangnan.
News came from the border yesterday.
A few days ago, Goguryeo's border troops clashed with Tang soldiers.
Both sides suffered casualties.
Although no large-scale conflict broke out, the coaches of both sides knew that this was just a test.
Next time, I'm afraid there will be an all-out war.
A war is about to begin, and this is the first time Li Tai has encountered such a situation.
I don't know how to deal with it at all.
Fortunately, the officials in the court were trying their best and were thinking of ways to deal with the matter.
"The Prime Minister is already discussing with Duke Wei and others on how to deal with this."
"Yeon Gaesoo-moon is a famous general of Goguryeo. If a war breaks out this time, I'm afraid he will be a troublesome figure."
"Until now, there is no news from the Prime Minister or the others." Du He said slowly.
If the prince can handle the border war well, or he can defeat Yeon Gaesumun in the subsequent war.
Then Li Tai's position as crown prince is definitely secure.
As long as something strange doesn't happen, Li Tai will definitely become the new Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
However, defeating Yeon Gaesumun may not be that easy.
"Go to Zhongshu Province and see how the Prime Minister and the others are discussing." Li Tai frowned, then waved.
…
"Old Wei, you are such a good person, why did you resign?"
"Zuopushe, that's a high-ranking official. My wife has been envious of him for an unknown period of time." Zhao Chen looked curious on his face at the inn outside Dingzhou City.
Li Ruoshuang had indeed been talking to Zhao Chen for a long time.
She said that if Zhao Chen could sit in the position of Minister of Public Affairs in the future, she would laugh out of her dreams.
Women, actually, they are all the same.
Zhao Chen was curious if Wei Zheng resigned and his wife would beat him to death with a stick.
"Forget it, it's not because of your pension insurance plan that harmed me."
"Zhao Chen, I've lost so much, you have to compensate me." Before Old Wei could say anything, he first asked Zhao Chen for a favor.
Zhao Chen ignored this unreliable old guy.
Wait for him to continue.
"As soon as your pension insurance plan was sent back to Chang'an, I read it carefully."
"To be honest, if I hadn't seen such a novel method with my own eyes, I would never have believed it."
"If this pension insurance plan can be implemented in Datang, it will definitely be a good thing that will benefit the present generation and benefit the future."
"You, Zhao Chen, will also leave a mark in history."
"So after discussing it with the prime minister, I discussed the matter with the ministers in Taiji Hall early the next morning."
"But the result..." Old Wei said this and suddenly looked at the emperor.
The emperor is having breakfast, and he will go to exercise later.
Seeing Wei Zheng suddenly looking at him, he couldn't help but frown.
What does this result have to do with him?
"As a result, Your Highness the Crown Prince heard that this was Zhao Chen's idea, and he didn't even read the contents of the pension insurance plan."
"I just denied it directly."
"I'm not allowed to talk about this anymore."
"With such a benefit and such treatment, I couldn't bear it. I pointed at the prince's nose and cursed him a few times."
"The prince ordered the guards on the left and right to take me down. If I could bear such humiliation, I just took off my hat and quit immediately." Wei Zheng and Zhao Chen said.
Originally, this guy still felt a little aggrieved.
But when I heard it later, I always felt weird.
I'm afraid this guy didn't mean to say he wouldn't do it.
Otherwise, how could he be so straightforward and do it even if he said he didn't want to do it?
Zhao Chen didn't speak and ate his meal in silence.
The emperor remained silent and fiddled with two chopsticks in his hand.
"Hey, why don't you say anything?" Wei Zheng looked puzzled.
"Zhao Chen, I've lost my official position, so you still have to give me 1.8 million yuan."
"And Your Majesty, I am loyal to my country, but I have been treated unfairly. You must compensate me for my losses."
"If you have no money, you have to pay thirty to fifty thousand guan." Wei Zheng continued.
If you ask for money, you won't even pause.
I probably thought about it hundreds of times on the road.
Otherwise, how could I speak so smoothly?
"I'll give you a mouthful, do you want it?" Old Li Tou looked at Wei Zheng with an unkind expression.
It was obviously this guy who wanted to run away, that's why he made such a fuss with Li Tai in the Tai Chi Hall.
To be continued...
