Whether you are a criminal officer or an army officer, you must first be upright yourself. Only when you are upright yourself can you be qualified to manage others.

Li Kuan was a little confused by Wei Zheng's words. He looked around and saw no one else before he realized that Wei Zheng was here to cause trouble with him. Xiao Yu had just dealt with him and he was here again?

Not to mention that Wei Zheng had no power to teach him, let alone control the emperor's guards. Even if he had, how could Li Kuan be so unrighteous?

Although his title was restored, the fiefdom was still in the hands of Jinan Prince Li Linggui. This was the saint's special care for Li Linggui. The prince's salary that was supposed to be reissued was not paid. Mrs. Wan

The Chu Palace that the concubine left for him still needs some time to be renovated.

He is a prince who has no house and no land. He lives entirely on the salary of the General of the Hundred Cavalry. His wallet is cleaner than his face. How could he be so upright?

"Zheng Guogong, Mr. Wei, you should keep an eye on the East Palace! The prince needs your supervision more than the little king, and he is more willing to listen to your teachings!"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. As Li Chengqian walked in, he muttered: "Erlang, you just hope that you will be alone and unlucky, right?"

Wei Zheng is a rare visitor, so why is Li Chengqian here again? What is he here for? He didn’t arrest anyone from the East Palace!

After taking the cup from Niu Zhen and taking a sip, Li Chengqian spat it out: "Clear water!"

"Erlang, I'm not talking about you alone. You are a first-class prince after all. You must prepare some taels of tea to entertain guests!"

Li Kuan shrugged indifferently: "This is the rule here. Prince, just drink it!"

From the beginning of leading soldiers, he remembered the words of the old captain. The job of leading soldiers is easy to say. Just remember one thing: what you ask the soldiers to do, you must first do it yourself.

If he can't live in poverty and lead by example, how can he lead the army? For a military guard with such power as the Hundred Cavalry Guards, if he is one foot looser, he will be one foot wider underneath, so something big is bound to happen.

But Wei Zheng on the side said with a smile: "It sounds nice, but not everyone can do it. There are too many people who are different from what they are."

Pfft! Li Chengqian squirted again, good guy, Wei Zheng couldn't look down on the hundreds of cavalry guards, so he took Erlang into account.

Li Kuan, what’s your temper! It’s not good to choose someone to pinch Gu, but if you choose him, isn’t this making yourself uncomfortable?

Taking two deep breaths, Li Kuan said in a deep voice: "Xiang Wei, in front of the Crown Prince, can you just say what you have to say?"

Wei Zheng replied extremely seriously: "Your subordinates, Li Yifu, Dugu Dabao, and Liu Zangqi, are engaged in business as officials and also make wine. Isn't this not knowing the law and breaking the law?"

That's right, whether it's Wu De Lv or Zhenguan Lv, taking into account the national initiative, strict private wine making. The restaurants in Jingzhao Mansion all buy wine from workshops issued by the imperial court with liquor licenses, or they get their own liquor licenses.

Fortunately, these three Baiqi officers were led by the Emperor's Guards, deployed by the Prince, and took advantage of the special powers of the Baiqi Guards to open a winery in Pingkangfang, specializing in wine.

Is this their own behavior, or are they taking advantage of their positions to collect money under the orders of the King of Chu?

If it's the former, Wei Zheng can treat Baiqi as a mixed bag of good and bad, and just deal with it according to the law; if it's the latter, hum, it's simple, he wants to report to the saint, please depose Li Kuan from the post of general.

"The call formation is coming, isn't it!"

Li Kuan called his soldiers in and asked him to pass on the three people, but the result was that the three people were not there, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Okay, let's go, I want to see if what you say is true."

Of course Wei Zheng was not determined, but Li Chengqian's buttocks were still hot, so he pulled Li Kuan and said, "Don't leave me alone!"

Seeing that the prince came in casual clothes, Li Kuan was not polite. He grabbed the prince's arm, turned to Wei Zhengyan and said, "For the sake of fairness, please bear witness."

Later, Pingkangfang-Fengyi Building!

Li Kuan looked at the large facade and calculated the price in his mind. Good guy, how much would it cost to build such a large winery in a place like Chang'an City where every inch of land is precious?

When Wei Zheng saw King Chu stunned, he also made fun of him: "Your Highness, this property is really not yours?"

As if glaring at Wei Zheng, Li Kuan flicked his sleeves and walked in first. Li Chengqian looked at Wei Zheng and said helplessly: "Mr. Zheng, let's go!"

Li Chengqian was convinced. Among all the ministers in the dynasty, whoever has no private property would have to hold on to his second son. Not to mention a small restaurant, just based on his second son's military exploits, his father would not mind how big the private property is.

Why are you staring at him? Why doesn't Wei Zheng keep an eye on Li Tai? In the nine counties of Gyeonggi Province alone, Li Tai has more than 80 restaurants, farms, rice shops, and medicine shops.

Why are you bullying people who are responsible for their duties? If you dare to love Duke Zheng, you will target the generals in the army. They are all vulgar, ignorant, greedy and unjust.

When the two came in, Li Kuan was pacing back and forth with a riding whip. Li Yifu, Dugu Dabao, and Liu Zangqi were hanging their heads, looking like little wives.

Li Chengqian also smiled: "Second brother! This Chang'an rice is expensive, and the people below also have to live their lives, so don't be too harsh."

But Li Kuan shook his head, pointed at the three of them, and sighed: "You can pay the bills yourself!"

The King of Strong Mouths - Liu Zangqi walked out, first sighed, and then sadly reported: "Prince, Prime Minister, we are also forced to have no choice!"

Seeing his mean look, Li Chengqian also smiled. The second son is such a serious person, how come he has such a thing under his command? He is not a decent person!

After giving him a fruit, Li Chengqian asked with great interest: "Then tell me how you were forced to have no choice."

Liu Zangqi slapped his thigh, knelt down immediately, and replied sadly: "Prince, I have no money! Brothers have no tricks, so they got into this business of killing a thousand swords!"

They were not the ones Liu Zangqi was crying about. As officers of the Hundred Cavalry Guards, they had a salary from the court. Although they could not live a wealthy life, their livelihood was still worry-free.

But in the battle of Songzhou, the hundred Yue cavalry who accompanied the King of Chu on the expedition lost eighty-three, and the Jiucheng Palace rescuers lost three more, and eighty-six families lost their backbone.

The imperial court awarded rewards, but there were rules for the rewards. They were all ordinary soldiers, and the little they got was not enough to chew fruit for a year.

Moreover, their hometowns are all in Liangzhou, which is half farming and half herding, and the folk customs are fierce. Without a man in the family, their family will not survive long.

The King of Chu regarded them as brothers, so he couldn't just sit back and ignore them, so he ordered their children to be brought to Chang'an, intending to take good care of them.

But how could the King of Chu have any money? He wanted land but no land, property but no property, and he didn't even have a mansion. How could he support these people, just the general's salary?

The brothers understand the difficulties faced by the court and the difficulties faced by His Highness, so they can only think of their own solutions.

So I borrowed the Dugu family's house and started this business, thinking of supporting the families of the brothers who died in the battle. The money earned here is all accounted for, and none of them has ever pocketed a penny.

Although his situation was pitiable, Wei Zheng thought that he could change to a legal way, do business as an official, or sell liquor, a business restricted by the imperial court. Is that okay?

Dugu Dabao is a well-known gangster and a relative. He dares to say any nonsense. He immediately replied angrily: "Is it possible to follow the example of those who have no way out and leave the door ajar?"

Li Kuan, who was already ashen-faced, stepped forward, kicked him down, and shouted: "A small captain dares to contradict the prime minister, you don't want to live anymore."

His outburst made Wei Zheng confused as to how to deal with himself. But Li Kuan's next words made Wei Zheng blush even more.

"We have chosen this stall so that we can't embarrass the prime minister. The worst I can do is beg for food again, but I won't starve them."

Of course Wei Zheng knew that it was impossible for the majestic King of Chu to beg for food, but he used the court's laws and orders to coerce the country's princes and treated the orphans of fallen soldiers harshly. His reputation was stinky.
