Chapter 576 Why do you want to give a golden pig
Li Lizhi was taken aback, and exclaimed: "Husband, do you mean that Hou Junji wants to rebel?"
"Why do you think so?" Lin Xuan asked a little strangely.
Although he meant this, he didn't say it directly.
His words can also be understood that Hou Junhui was liquidated by Li Shimin because of the bad things he did.
But Li Lizhi directly said that Hou Junji wanted to rebel, which surprised him.
"No matter what Hou Junji does, as long as he doesn't rebel, the emperor will leave him alone at most and will not do anything to him. At the beginning, Duke E was defiant because of his great achievements, and he did something to Uncle Rencheng because of his seat. Even so, the father just reprimanded him. The father attaches great importance to those heroes who founded the country." Li Lizhi said.
He also heard about Yu Chigong's beating of Li Daozong. He didn't know what Li Shimin and Yu Chigong said, but someone reminded him. Anyway, after that incident, Yuchigong became a lot more honest.
But in Lin Xuan's view, Li Shimin didn't have that much tolerance, otherwise he wouldn't have pushed down Wei Zheng's tombstone after Wei Zheng's death.
It is said that the deceased is the greatest, and overturning the tombstone, in the eyes of the time, was more serious than direct execution.
The reason why Li Shimin didn't kill him was because he already had the notoriety of killing his brother and imprisoning his father. If he killed the heroes again, his reputation would be so bad.
For a man who cares so much about his reputation behind him, this is unacceptable to him.
Throughout Li Shimin's life, he worked hard in the early stage, but in the late stage, he indulged in enjoyment.
In Lin Xuan's view, that was Li Shimin's nature. Before that, he just wanted to prove his ability to Li Yuan, and he was exhorted by Empress Changsun.
When both Li Yuan and Empress Changsun were dead, Datang conquered most of the countries around Datang, and naturally revealed their true nature.
It's not easy for him to say these words to Li Lizhi, otherwise, even a husband and wife will probably get angry when he arranges Li Shimin in this way.
"Whether he will rebel or not, I don't know. I just think that he will definitely not end well if he is so narrow-minded." Lin Xuan hesitated and said.
Now that Hou Junji has not rebelled, Li Shimin still trusts him. At this time, if Hou Junji is said to be rebelling, Li Shimin will not do anything to Hou Junji.
On the contrary, these words came out of his mouth, others would only think that he wanted to take revenge on Hou Junji.
Even if Hou Junji doesn't commit suicide, Lin Xuan will take revenge.
Li Lizhi always felt that things were not that simple, but Lin Xuan didn't say anything, and she didn't continue to ask.
At this moment, Lin Butler led Sun Laixi in.
"I've seen Lord Hou, Princess."
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "Uncle Lin, why are you here?"
He still respects this old man very much. He has been with his father for more than 20 years, hardworking and loyal.
"Master Hou, this old slave is the housekeeper. Now that something like this happened, this old slave cannot absolve himself of the responsibility. Please punish him." Steward Lin knelt down immediately after finishing speaking.
"Uncle Lin, what are you doing?" Lin Xuan quickly stepped forward and helped Butler Lin up.
"Master Hou, those people are under the management of the old slave, but the old slave didn't realize that they did so many dirty things. It's the fault of the old slave. Please punish him." Lin Butler said with a face of shame.
"What did Uncle Lin say, I've given you so many things that are already busy enough for you, and they deliberately concealed it, so it's normal if you didn't find out." Lin Xuan said.
Butler Lin, as a housekeeper, is responsible whether he participates or not.
But Lin Xuan told him so many things, so he didn't have much time to manage and supervise those people.
This is also the trouble caused by no one available.
"Although this is the case, the old slave's management is not good. If he is not punished, how can he convince the public?" Lin Butler insisted.
"Then a monthly fine of half a year." Lin Xuan said.
"Master Hou, isn't this too light?" Lin Butler said in astonishment.
Both Lin Dongyang and Lin Xuan treated him very preferentially.
There are usually so many rewards, half a year's monthly money is not a big deal at all.
Lin Xuan waved his hands and said, "That's it."
Seeing this, Steward Lin said gratefully, "Thank you, Lord Hou."
Lin Xuan looked at Li Lizhi and signaled her to deal with Sun Laixi's matter.
Li Lizhi looked at Sun Laixi and said, "Sun Guanshi, you should have been sent to the official for being greedy for money, but you suddenly realized that you have made great contributions in exposing it. Time is enough, when will you be able to receive the monthly payment and be transferred to be the steward of the foreign government. Are you convinced?"
Sun Laixi was already ready to die, but when he heard Li Lizhi's words, he wept with joy, knelt down, and said, "Thank you, princess, I am convinced."
"Okay, you go down first. When the other people's stolen money is recovered, you will receive fifty pennies and divide it equally according to the number of people. Say it is a reward from me." Li Lizhi ordered.
The rest of the stewards have been arrested, and the new steward has not yet been determined, so these matters can only be handed over to Sun Laixi.
She gave this reward, in addition to being kind to win people's hearts just after entering the door, the other reason is to make the rest of the servants feel at ease.
Having arrested so many stewards, don't even think about it, the rest of the servants must be panicking now.
"Yes." Sun Laixi agreed, saluted and retreated.
Lin Xuan looked at Steward Lin and asked, "Uncle Lin, I asked you to find someone to smelt gold to make a golden pig. How is it going?"
Butler Lin said: "Back to Lord Hou, this old slave is here to talk about this matter. The golden pig has been built. I don't know what to do next?"
"That's the door-returning ceremony I prepared. You have to let people pack it up with things, and they must be able to see the golden pig inside." Lin Xuan said.
Sending so much gold, if he doesn't show off, how can he show his wealth?
"Yes, I'll do it right now, old slave." Butler Lin saluted and retreated.
Li Lizhi asked a little strangely: "My husband, I forgot to ask before I became a concubine, why did my husband want someone to smelt it into a golden pig?"
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Don't you think the golden pig's naive look is very festive?"
"Is the pig growing up festive? How did I hear that the pig growing up is dirty and ugly?" Li Li asked puzzled.
Although she has never seen a pig, she has heard people describe it as dirty and ugly.
It was only then that Lin Xuan remembered that the Tang Dynasty still regarded pigs as dirty things, and no one had specially made things in the shape of pigs.
Golden pigs imply wealth and good luck. Lin Xuan also thought about melting gold and giving golden pigs because later generations saw people giving golden pigs, but he ignored this point.
"You will know when you see it tomorrow." Lin Xuan said.
He didn't mean to change it, and decided to give the golden pig anyway.
The shape doesn't matter at all, what matters is the material.
Made of gold, no matter what it is, Li Shimin probably will like it after seeing it.
Seeing Lin Xuan say this, Li Lizhi didn't say anything more.
During dinner at night, Lin Dongyang and the others also asked about the door ceremony.
Hearing that Lin Xuan was ready, he was relieved.
"Brother, can you take me with you tomorrow?" Lin Wanxi looked at Lin Xuan eagerly.
During this period of time, Lin Xuan was busy getting married, so he didn't play with her much, let alone take her out to play.
She didn't know what it meant to return the door, but she knew that Lin Xuan and the others were going out tomorrow.
"Duoduo, your brother has business to do, so don't make trouble." Zhang Qing scolded.
"Oh." Lin Wanxi replied aggrieved.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "I can't take you with me tomorrow, but I can take you out to play the day after tomorrow."
Naturally, Lin Wanxi's careful thinking couldn't be hidden from him.
"Thank you brother." Lin Wanxi smiled sweetly.
