Chapter 3033 Ning Ji Was Arrested【4】

And Ning Ji is not stupid, he is also suspicious of Wei Xiao's intentions... Wei Xiao is not Wei Qi, and he will not spare his life because of his reputation. Therefore, after Ning Ji heard the news, he went to the 'Si'an Palace' to find Wei in person. Xiao.

Si'an Hall is the Qingzheng Hall, the former Mingwei Hall, where the emperor usually summoned ministers to discuss matters and review memorials. However, Wei Xiao didn't like the first two names, so he renamed it Si'an.

Ning Ji raised his head and looked at the plaque of the palace... Using the name to gauge the mind, Wei Xiao became more and more stable. Unfortunately, God would not give Wei Xiao time to settle down in the world. The name of the palace had to be changed!

"Marquis Ning, His Majesty invites you to come in. Please come with me." After the battle at Xiushan, Zhong Neijian had completely distinguished himself and became the person who served Wei Xiao personally.

"Thank you." Ning Ji was as elegant and polite as ever, but when he caught a glimpse of Erlang kneeling in a corner of Si'an Hall, he couldn't help but stop and asked: "Why are Erlang kneeling here? But he made a mistake?"

Woo!

Erlang really wanted to cry, but he had understood one thing in the past two days. The bad uncle was not his father, and it would be useless no matter how miserable he cried, as he would still be laughed at.

So he held back his tears and continued to kneel, but he was still stubborn: "The second wolf is right, but if you resist the decree, you will be beheaded. The second wolf has to go home to accompany his mother, and he has to wait for his father to come home."

You can't lose your head.

Wei Xiao heard this and understood that Erlang was very sad, but tempering one's mind is an important part of the teachings of noble disciples... Only when people's hearts have been hurt can they become as hard as iron, so he did not intend to feel sorry for Erlang at all, but instead He said: "If you don't repent, someone will take off his cotton-padded clothes and kneel for half an hour!"

After hearing this, the big wolf pulled little Luo You.

Xiao Luo You looked at Wei Xiao and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, the child's bones are brittle. If you kneel for too long, your bones will be damaged. I beg your Majesty to have mercy."

After hearing this, Wei Xiao was very satisfied: "You already know at a young age that kneeling for a long time will hurt your bones. You are not too stupid... Just remove Qin Zheng's cotton-padded clothes, and there is no need to kneel."

"Yes." Supervisor Zhong did not dare to neglect and went to undress Erlang himself.

"Sneeze!" Erlang sneezed out of coldness.

Wei Xiao was disgusted again: "Don't you know that resistance to cold comes from practice? Wearing so many clothes every day, does Gu want to destroy you!"

He and Saburo would sleep for an hour outside the house every winter, just to practice their ability to withstand the cold... It was precisely because of this ability that they could fight the enemy in the ice and snow, and they could hide in the snow for a whole day and night without any problems. Son.

Erlang was so angry that he threw his cotton-padded clothes on the ground with a loud bang and said to Wei Xiao: "Bad guy, don't talk about mother, daddy will beat you, Erlang, brother, and Brother You will also beat you up!"

This uncle is good or bad. He always punishes him without saying anything and scolds his mother. Erlang is very sad.

Hehe, he has quite a temper, but unfortunately he is a short winter melon and has no momentum at all.

Wei Xiao laughed disdainfully: "Beat me? Do you know that this is a capital crime of genocide... Kneel down for me and continue to be punished. Don't cry. If you dare to shed a tear, you won't be able to go home today!"

Woo hoo hoo, Erlang really wanted to cry, but in the past two days he has understood that the bad uncle kept his word. In order to go home to see his mother, Erlang had no choice but to kneel down, but he was still unconvinced and turned towards Wei Xiao. Bian said seriously: "Huh, bad guy!"

Wei Xiao frowned. The brat is really naughty, even worse than his second cousin. I hope his ability can be better than his second cousin, otherwise it will be in vain.

"Ning Hou has something to report?" Wei Xiao asked.

Ning Ji did not pretend to be pretentious and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I heard some rumors and feared that it would be detrimental to the court, so I came to see you."

Wei Xiao: "Is it a matter of selecting the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Ning Ji nodded: "The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Husbandry are the important departments of the dynasty, so the choice of minister cannot be ignored. Although I have some merits, I cannot afford the position of two ministers."

Wei Xiao: "When we were in the Northeast, you helped the Wei family take care of a lot of property matters. I trust you, and now you are the only one who is most suitable for these two positions."

He didn't give Ning Ji a chance to refuse, and said: "That's it, you hand over the affairs of the Ministry of Industry to the Minister of Industry, and five days later, you will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to take up the post. As for the Ministry of Personnel, I will let Mr. Shangguan Ge take charge temporarily. "

The aristocratic family is too deeply rooted. In addition to the capital, the power in the south cannot be ignored. The dynasty needs to be stable and cannot be turbulent anymore, so he needs to reuse the Shangguan family to stabilize the aristocratic family and the south for him.

Ning Ji was not surprised at all when he heard this. Wei Xiao would not reuse Zong Zhengjia, but he said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zheng is more suitable for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue than I am."

Wei Xiao: "The Shangguan family, the Zongzheng family, the Feng family, the Zhong family, and the Ouyang family are all wealthy families. If I reuse the Zheng family, wouldn't it give the wealthy family a chance to make a comeback? You know the harm of the family better than I do."

Dafenghui died because it was divided up by aristocratic families, to the point where the national treasury had almost no income.

But Ning Ji seemed to really not want to be the Minister of Household Affairs, so he said: "Your Majesty, although the Ouyang family is from a wealthy family, it can be considered a noble family, and Ouyang Hu has no desire to gain power. You can use him and let him temporarily take charge of the household." Ministry for five years.”

Wei Xiao frowned when he heard this and gave him a sentence: "The Ouyang family's reputation in Shilin is too high, and they are related by marriage to the Qin, Gu, and Yan families. They are too deeply intertwined to be in charge of the household department."

After hearing this, Ning Ji dispelled most of his doubts and was pleasantly surprised... Wei Xiao was indeed afraid of the Qin family, so he refused to reuse Ouyang Hu.

Coupled with the matter between Erlang and the Gu family, it seems that he can use it to make Wei Xiao and Qin Mu completely turn against each other.

However, what Wei Xiao wants is Ning Ji's misunderstanding.

Ning Ji talked about the murder of Qin's father again: "Your Majesty, I found out that Qin Guogong's father seemed to have been poisoned before being ambushed. The old case of the Wei family can be ignored, but the death of Qin Guogong's father must be continued. Check further?"

Wei Xiao looked at Ning Ji with deep eyes and said after a moment: "If Ning Hou has any clues, we can continue to investigate."

"However, don't delay the matters between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Zang Lin should also keep an eye on him... You are familiar with Zhou Huang, so you should also go to his place to persuade him. Don't be ignorant of what is good and what is good. .”

If Ning Ji really had second thoughts, Wei Lin and Zhou Huang would definitely be used, so Wei Xiao left the matter of settling the two of them to Ning Ji.

"Yes, I will not disappoint His Majesty." Ning Ji said respectfully, feeling a little proud... Wei Xiao was indeed brave and foolhardy. He thought he would kill him soon after becoming the emperor, but he didn't expect it. He also arranged such an errand for him.

However, Wei Xiao would give Ning Ji many errands in order to take away Ning Ji's efforts so that Ning Ji would not have time to think carefully about his arrangements.

Ning Ji was very busy. After some spying, he quickly left Si'an Hall without staying too long.

…

When the imperial city gate was about to close, the big wolf and the two wolves came out of the palace.

Xiao Luoyou failed to leave the palace and was left in the palace by Wei Xiao... The imperial guards were on duty at night, so Wei Xiao asked Xiao Luoyou to follow the imperial guards on night patrol.

"Mom~" Erlang saw Gu Jinli, feeling extremely aggrieved and stretched out his hand for her to hug.

Gu Jinli hurriedly hugged him and asked distressedly: "What's wrong? Are you being bullied?"
