Chapter 151: Your Majesty, What's the Matter with You
The eunuchs in the palace had obviously mastered the skills of laying, and Chen Zhengtai could easily hand over the task to them.
In this great inner place, it's better to go less!
It's just that this heating shop has caused waves in this inner palace.
There are many concubines in the palace, and I heard that only the sleeping halls of the eldest grandson queen and Concubine Zhou are paved in this concubine, and the eldest grandson queen naturally has nothing to say, but Concubine Zhou can't help but make people jealous.
I don't know how many people have a higher status than Concubine Zhou, she has neither a strong maiden family, nor a son to the emperor, why?
Concubine Zhou felt that she had been pushed to the forefront all of a sudden, but fortunately, she ...... At this time, she was being favored, and no one dared to provoke her.
I even heard that Princess Sui'an is very powerful outside, and she controls a large estate, which is comparable to the prince, and she is familiar with the newly famous Chen Zhengtai.
His Majesty often mentions Chen Zhengtai, this Chen Zhengtai is Concubine Zhou's foreign aid outside the palace, and the power of the Chen family is already faintly comparable to the Wei family.
You must know that this Jingzhao Wei family, that is, Wei Guifei's maiden family, although I dare not say that it can be compared with the five surnames and seven families, it is also full of talents.
There are more than 300 children of the Wei family, who are full of the imperial court and local state capitals, not to mention, their protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials.
This is also why, although Concubine Wei is married for the second time, His Majesty will marry her and canonize her as a concubine.
And the Chen family has risen strongly, but after all, the time is still short, there are not many people in the family, it can be said that there are only a handful, coupled with their family's past bad deeds, they are even less favored.
But Chen Zhengtai is now in full swing, and it is still not to be underestimated.
It's just that this pipeline was laid to Concubine Zhou, but no one dared to talk much, and wanted to lay it, okay, give money!
Chen Zhengtai charges 300 guan a zhang, which is laid according to the distance, and in addition, the annual coal fee is paid, 500 guan a year.
When they heard the number, everyone was honest.
The imperial historian Yao Silian played a sloppy and impeached Chen Zhengtai fiercely.
But His Majesty's side didn't react, and nine times out of ten he left this piece in the middle!
Yao Silian was a little unconvinced, Your Majesty should be as good as a stream, so you can squeak too, this Chen Zhengtai is the right concubine of the East Palace after all, and the stakes are very important, he is responsible for guiding the crown prince!
If such a person is extravagant and instigated His Majesty to spend money like this, then he will be able to pay it back, and the emperor and the crown prince will follow suit in the future, isn't this that both father and son have become Emperor Yang of Sui?
Yao Yushi was very unhappy and decided to write another harshly worded note.
This time, the tone was heavier, and there was a big one, if His Majesty refused to punish Chen Zhengtai and dismantle the coal stove, he would be a faint king.
After the song was written, it was immediately sent to Menxia Province.
He felt satisfied again.
It's just that soon, a eunuch came and said: "Yao Yushi, Your Majesty summons." β
Yao Silian listened, but calmly, and said to the other imperial histories on the left and right: "I'm going here, I'm only afraid that there will be more luck and less luck." β
The imperial historians looked admiring: "Yao Gong is admirable." β
In fact, this is what the imperial historians often do, they want to impeach people every once in a while, and they all put on the appearance of wanting to fight to the death!
The higher the status of the object of the dead, the more admirable it is.
And today's emperor, open up his speech, those who like to scold, whatever you scold, if I, Li Shimin, are angry, I will lose.
Thereupon...... All of a sudden, the atmosphere of supervising the emperor became a common practice, and if he didn't scold Li Erlang a few words, he was not angry, not only to scold, but also to pretend that he had scolded the emperor, and he might be retaliated by the emperor at any time! So...... to become famous.
Of course, they stood on the first floor, and what they thought was, if I scolded Li Erlang, my reputation would become great, and I would become an iron-clad minister.
And Li Shimin stands on the second floor, I am as good as a stream, even if you scold, I will become a wise man who knows his mistakes and can change them.
Sometimes there will be people standing on the third floor, I know that you Li Erlang wants to become a virtuous gentleman who is as good as a stream, so I scold you even more, catch you and rub on the ground, and if you don't scold, you will lose if you leave a name in history.
At this moment, Li Shimin is standing on the fourth floor, he knows that some people already know that what they want is this reputation, so they jump up and scold themselves, but you scold, scold as you like, I blush, I admire you, not only do I not blush, but I also promote your officials.
As soon as this atmosphere opened, it became lively.
At least Yao Silian has developed a good habit of scolding Li Er every once in a while, and every morning when he gets up, he begins to wonder what Li Er is lacking in virtue again, what is wrong with his performance with the minister yesterday.
Now, even the last two recitals, they are all scolding Li Shimin for fainting, I thought that Li Shimin would behave calmly and continue to pretend to be dead, or the next will, saying that this time I was really wrong, and next time I will definitely correct it.
But where did you think of it...... This time, the head of Song Shu was handed over, and His Majesty immediately summoned him to the front of the palace.
Now it's all right.
I'm afraid that today's recital will go down in history again.
Yao Silian was not afraid, and walked slowly to the Xuanzheng Hall with a calm face, but saw Li Shimin sitting in front of the imperial case.
And the crown prince and Chen Zhengtai were actually there, standing on the left side of the lower head, and Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the eldest grandson Wuji were on the other side.
In the corner, there is also a Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou is very inconspicuous here, he is mediocre in appearance, and because of his poor family background, he is not like those children of the world, who have been cultivated since childhood, and their words and deeds are inevitably a little detached and noble.
Yao Silian saluted and said, "The minister has seen Your Majesty." β
Li Shimin glanced at him, and said lightly: "I have already seen your recital, my disciple has built a coal stove for me to warm up, why should Yu Qing hinder it?" You actually scolded me as a faint king, and scolded my disciples as ministers, is this what a minister should do? β
Yao Silian didn't expect that as soon as His Majesty came, he changed his previous attitude and scolded him bloody.
There's something wrong with that.
He was calm, and immediately said eloquently: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how much does this coal furnace cost?" β
Li Shimin said very directly: "How much it costs is also Chen Zhengtai's money." β
"Chen Zhengtai's money, isn't it taken from the people's fat and people's ointment?" Yao Silian said righteously: "Isn't it taken from the people? β
Li Shimin squinted and looked at Yao Silian, this Yao Silian's tone was very big, of course, this is also due to the atmosphere of the imperial historians of the current dynasty.
Chen Zhengtai said with a smile at this time: "What Yao Gong said is very true, the Chen family's money is taken from the people, and this is all the people's fat and people's ointment." So...... Wu Xingyao's family's money is also taken from the people, isn't it? Otherwise, the Chen family is willing to offer 100,000 yuan to fill the treasury, and the Yao family will also take some people's fat and people's ointment, how about it? β
Hearing that the Chen family was going to pay again, Fang Xuanling's eyes suddenly opened and flashed brightly.
As a Zhongshu order, when the court is the assistant, Fang Xuanling likes the ministers to quarrel the most...... More money than anyone else, and more people move into the treasury.
Yao Silian was speechless for a while, and only after a long time did he say angrily: "What is this, my Yao family ......"
"Don't say that your Yao family has no money...... Chen Zhengtai said: "Don't say anything else, your Wuxing Yao family, just a few months ago, sold 70,000 mu of land to Erpigou, with a total of 210,000 yuan, I won't say that your Yao family has other savings and land, just these 210,000 yuan, is it still there?" Two hundred and twenty thousand, how many people's fat and people's ointment is this? Dare to ask Yao Gong, your family is old and young, you have eaten and clothed for a thousand years, and you can use these 210,000 yuan? Now how miserable the people are, don't you even want to go out of 100,000? 100,000, how many ordinary people can be relieved? It's better to do this, the Yao family will pay 100,000 yuan, and my Chen family will pay 300,000 yuan, how about it? I won't lie to you, this matter is settled. β
Fang Xuanling felt that happiness came too quickly, and he was a little dizzy, and his whole body was fluttering.
Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little happy, he wished everyone was like this.
Yao Silian was furious for a while, and said sharply: "Chen Zhengtai, don't mess around......"
He was speechless in his heart, when the land was sold to your Chen family, it was already a big loss, and the Yao family was almost going back to poverty, and now you are still lighting up my family's money, are you doing this as a human being?
"How did I mess around?" Chen Zhengtai looked at him innocently and said: "I'm the same as my teacher, I only have the people in my heart, and when I see that the people are not clothed and hungry, I am worried, so I am willing to give up all my family wealth, Yao Gong is a minister, and the family is so rich, shouldn't I take out a little bit?" β
Yao Silian glared at him angrily and said, "The old man doesn't want to argue with you about this, what the old man wants to say is that Your Majesty can't ...... Such extravagance......"
Chen Zhengtai said: "Two hundred and one thousand, enough for the Yao family to spend many lives extravagantly, how much land does your family still have, and how much money do you hide?" β
Yao Silian looked angry, he was about to vomit blood: "We are talking about official affairs now, not private affairs, if you have any private affairs, you can tell the old man in private, this is the Xuanzheng Palace, not your home." β
Chen Zhengtai opened his eyes wide and said strangely: "This is strange, since this is a private matter, then I took out my own money to build a coal stove for my teacher, and did not spend half a cent of public money, how did it become a public matter?" Is it only your family's affairs, all of which are private affairs, and my Chen family's affairs are all official affairs? I've been wronged, Yao Gong ......"
Yao Silian: "......"
The old man just scolded casually, what are you more real!
Dislike.
Yao Silian was annoyed and ashamed, so he said with a heartfelt voice: "The affairs of your Chen family, of course, are private, but when it comes to the palace, the heavenly family is selfless!" β
This means very clearly, the emperor's affairs, regardless of your public or private, he is all public.
Yao Silian is still quite theoretical, and he will not fall for Chen Zhengtai.
It's just that his voice fell, but Li Shimin snorted coldly, dropped a holy decree and said, "Is this what Yao Qing did as a minister?" β
This sudden shouting made Yao Silian a little unable to react, where did he say something wrong?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Starting today, there will be five shifts every day, and the first one will be delivered.
