228. 228: The court is surging
In the imperial study, because of the Taermu tribe's request for tax reduction, it was already in the palm of the lamp until dawn.
"What do you think?"
"The old minister disagrees." In the end, it is an old minister of the three dynasties, and anything he says is straightforward.
"Prime Minister Zhou, tell me what you think." The emperor took a sip of hot tea, and the displeasure between his eyebrows was fleeting.
"Since the founding of our dynasty, there is no such precedent, when the first emperor was still alive, there were many Fanbang tribes who used various reasons to ask for tax reduction, but the first emperor never bowed his head, and this matter is related to the dignity of our dynasty, and it will never be allowed to agree." The old prime minister wiped his beard, and his eyes were full of pride.
A small Fanbang tribe thought that it was delusional to use three so-called treasures in exchange for three years of huge taxes.
This prime minister has already taken out the first emperor who has been immortal, which shows that he is extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of the Talmu tribe this time, not to mention that many of these ministers are protégés of the prime minister, so naturally no one dares to refute it.
The emperor didn't like it in his heart, and now looking at what the prime minister did, there was really a phenomenon of monopolizing the dynasty.
Could it be that no one in this Qingling Kingdom dares to come out to compete with it?
"Emperor Qi, Weichen doesn't think so."
He? The emperor worked hard to remember this person, Zhang Yuguang, the champion of Jinke, who was quick to think when he took the palace test, and compared the prime minister's protégé, and the position of champion was well deserved.
It's just that I have been in the DPRK for more than half a year, but I didn't see anything to do, so I slowly forgot about it.
Now looking at the situation, the emperor understands that Zhang Yuguang is not afraid of the prime minister's authority at this time, but he is afraid that he has been suppressed by the prime minister and his party before, so he will always do nothing.
"I'm curious about Zhang Qing's opinion."
"This time the envoy entered Beijing and gave me three treasures, which can be seen to be valued, so it is conceivable that the Talmu tribe has indeed suffered from natural disasters, if our dynasty can be tolerant of it at this time, it will not only make the Fanbang tribe convinced, but also make the relationship between our dynasty and Fanbang reconcile."
"The old man has been an official for many years, and I don't know what the people of those tribes in Fanbang are thinking! You are just a fledgling boy, you dare to boast about Haikou, you know what the tax for the past three years means, it is the military salary of the entire Qingling Kingdom army for one year. "Zhang Yuguang, this kid, is against him everywhere, it seems that if he doesn't give him a little hardship, he doesn't know how thick the sky is.
"Then does the prime minister know how much I have to pay for a battle?" Zhang Yuguang was not frightened by the prime minister's anger at all, "It's three times as much, and it's three times the tax paid by the Talmu tribe in three years!" ”
"If the emperor can exempt the Taermu tribe from paying taxes for three years, he can ensure the well-being of the people in the border city, and ask the emperor to consider it for the people, this matter is feasible."
Even the salaries of the three armies can be counted, and he thinks of the pros and cons in a short period of time, and he is bold enough to speak, and he does not have any concerns, he is indeed a talent.
"The old minister still disagrees." Prime Minister Li always thought that Zhang Yuguang was young and vigorous, what did he know, and turned to look at Qin Yan, "What does the old minister dare to ask the regent?" ”
The prime minister has a chance of winning in his heart, because he knows too well the delicate relationship between the regent and the emperor, as long as it is something that the emperor approves, the regent will definitely veto, and this time is no exception.
But often the end of being too confident is to fall badly.
Qin Yan looked at the emperor, this time Yu'er has indeed grown a lot, and it also made him see Zhang Yuguang's ability, as for this prime minister, he is just relying on the old and selling the old, and he still wants to expand his power, it depends on whether he agrees or not, "This king also agrees." ”
"What?!" When the prime minister heard Qin Yan's answer, he thought that he had misheard, "The prince has thought clearly, this is a matter of importance!" ”
"Because the matter is important, this king naturally thinks about it again and again, what, does the prime minister still question whether this king said it casually?"
The prime minister immediately noticed his gaffe just now, and hurriedly gave it up, "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just that the old minister didn't expect that the prince would have an answer so soon." ”
"This is natural, to ensure the long-term stability of Qingling Kingdom, this is indeed a feasible method, what do you think?"
Even the regent felt that it was feasible, even if they wanted to stand on the side of the prime minister again, it would be impossible, and they immediately made their position clear.
The emperor was naturally a little confused, he would actually agree, is there really anything different? What he said at the beginning, can you really believe it?
"Now that the matter has been decided, it's not too early, so let's go back."
"The ministers are leaving."
Before leaving, the emperor stopped him, and he still couldn't understand after thinking about it, "Uncle Huang, why?" ”
"Yu'er has not grown up, many decisions you can actually listen to the opinions of the audience, I just think from the perspective of the most beneficial to the people, not everything can go as you want, what you need is not success, but setbacks. Well, get some rest early. ”
Frustration?
How long has it been since they spoke calmly?
Why did Qin Yan feel that the road out of the palace tonight was so easy, the light in the dark night illuminated more than just the road.
It was already dawn when he returned to the palace, and the first thing he did was to ask what he had done that day.
Qingyu reported one by one, making Qin Yan's brows furrow deeper and deeper, has she been reading in the house all the time, how can this work, she is now in this body, she should go out for a walk.
"What did the Imperial Doctor say?"
"Miss's body is fine, but the fetus is unstable in the first three months of pregnancy, so be extra careful."
Qin Yan nodded, and explained again and again, "On weekdays, she trusts you the most, no matter where she goes, you have to accompany her, she is up to her to do whatever she wants, it doesn't matter if others don't like it, everything is protected by this king." ”
Qingyu has been able to calmly listen to the prince's advice, and the regent who is high above will also be so pampered that he can ignore it for the sake of a woman.
It seems that no matter how busy Qin Yan is, he will finish breakfast with her, and today is no exception.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Wu Ying took a bite of the pickled melon, and she was very sweet and sour, and when she heard him ask, she nodded reflexively.
But the gaze on the top of her head didn't seem to be ready to let her go, so that Wu Ying suddenly had no appetite, put down her chopsticks, met his eyes, and asked stubbornly, "What about the prince, I heard that I came back very late last night." ”
Qin Yan was very impressed with such words, "I have been busy with the affairs of Fanbang these days, and I really can't take a break. ”
"Tonight, the emperor is going to feast on the envoys of Fanbang in the main hall, but he ordered his wife to attend." Qin Yan knew that she didn't like it, but if she didn't go, she would inevitably let those who did good things chew on the root of their tongues.
What an honor, the regent needs to look at her color so carefully, no matter how many people ask for it, they can't ask for it, and Wu Ying only needs a look to let him pour it out.
