Chapter 68: The Upper Dynasty
"Hugh is going to talk nonsense, keep talking! I didn't hear of any way to make money here! Li Shimin reprimanded.
"After the road is built, you can make a profit next, such as Chang'an to Luoyang, the two places set up toll stations, to go this way, pay a certain amount of money!"
"Bastard, how can my official way be so charged! Are you making the world laugh at me? And if there is a toll on this road, will anyone still walk? Li Shimin was reluctant when he heard it.
"Your Majesty, the minister will calculate an account for you, a caravan of ten cars, from Chang'an to Luoyang, how can the current official road take ten days, and you have to recruit guards to escort you all the way, stay in the hotel and eat, and the cost of coming down is not a lot. If you pay the money to take the cement road, the first is safe, there will be guards on both sides of the road to patrol continuously to ensure the safety of customers, and the driving speed is fast, and the ten days journey can be reached in five days. Do you think there will be people who pay for the concrete road? Moreover, this road also has a military purpose, if you use this road, you can march quickly, and even the time for transporting grain and grass is greatly shortened. You say, is this a good road? Qin Feng said.
After listening to Qin Feng's words, Li Shimin thought carefully, if the Tang Dynasty can have this way, it is indeed a good thing, but is it a little inappropriate to hand over such an important matter to the family, after all, the interests of the current family and the court are contradictory, and the people of the family are for the family, not the country.
"Qin Feng, are you so sure that the family can agree with your idea and take a stake in your business?"
"Back to Your Majesty, people in the world pay more attention to fame and fortune, and people from the family are even more so, now that the paper is out, the printing technology of the minister is followed, do you think the people of the family can still fiddle with the court as before? Even if you can agree, the poor students will not agree. When the people of the Tang Dynasty opened their minds, the so-called name of the family gradually disappeared. But it will take a long time, but if I give him a profit now and let the family stand up for fame, I think the people of the family are still very willing, on the one hand, the family is gradually dying out, and the other is to become a rich man in another way, you say, how will they choose? Qin Feng said.
"But if the family doesn't agree to your conditions, they have to impeach you and let me kill you?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Feng.
"Your Majesty, the birth of paper and printing is a foregone conclusion, they can't change it, if the people of the family are still obsessed with continuing to stop it, then it will depend on your sword advantage. What do you say? Qin Feng said to Li Shimin.
"You kid, you're giving me a problem!" Li Shimin said.
"If the family does not agree with what the minister said, then Your Majesty will behead the minister to make amends to the Wang family, and then the minister will watch in the sky, how arrogant the family will be in a few years!"
"Okay, you go down first, stay in Dali Temple for the next few days." Li Shimin said to Qin Feng.
"Retire!" Qin Feng followed the guards out of the main hall.
After Qin Feng left, Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun: "Guanyin, do you think the family that Qin Feng said will agree?" ”
"Erlang, I think this son is confident, I'm afraid that he has a very good plan, and the people of the family should really consider whether to continue to cooperate with the Wang family. The heads of the family are all smart people, and the concubines will agree with Qin Feng's words nine times out of ten, but for such an important matter, all of them are left to the family to do, I am afraid that there is something inappropriate. Empress Eldest Sun thought about it and said to Li Shimin.
"Yes, if this matter is to be handed over to the people of the family, I also feel that it is inappropriate, and after I discussed it with the auxiliary machine, I am saying, come here, go and invite Zhao Guogong, Lai Guogong, Zheng Guogong, and Liang Guogong!" Li Shimin said to Gonggong Li.
"Your Majesty!" Gonggong Li was ordered to go out. About half an hour, the four of them came to Li Shimin's Ganlu Hall and did not leave until the early morning of the second day.
。。。。。。。
Time passed in a hurry, the three-day period had arrived, early in the morning, the civil and military officials above the fifth grade gathered outside the Suzaku Gate, and as soon as the Suzaku Gate was opened, many officials walked all the way towards the palace.
As Gonggong Li stood on the steps and shouted, "Go to court!" ”
And they went into the temple in order, and came to their places. After everyone stood still, without waiting for a while, Li Shimin arrived at the main hall.
"Your Majesty!" The ministers saluted Li Shimin above.
"Excuse me!" Li Shimin sat on the dragon couch and said to everyone.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers returned to their places and sat on their knees.
Gonggong Li took two steps forward, stood in front of the steps, and shouted: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" ”
"Something to do!"
"The minister has something to do! ...”
After Gonggong Li finished speaking, more than a dozen officials of the family immediately stood up and shouted at Li Shimin.
"Speak!"
"Minister, impeach Qin Feng in heaven, commit murder in Chang'an City, take a slave to break into the mansion of the official department of the dynasty to commit murder, rampant and uncontrollable, please order Your Majesty to let Dali Temple severely punish Qin Feng, remove Qin Feng from the title of marquis, and behead the public!" The first official to stand up said to Li Shimin.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Next, many officials stood up and said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin watched as most of the officials were ready to get up, his face became worse and worse, and at this time, Cheng Yanjin shouted loudly and scolded everyone.
"your fart! Obviously, it was the Wang family who kidnapped my nephew Qin Feng's fiancée first, and sent a note to my nephew Qin Feng in exchange for printing, my nephew was angry, so he brought in and rushed into the palace to dignitaries, Wang Jingxuan's kid killed people when he saw that the matter was exposed, and killed my nephew's fiancée Gao Ziyan, you have a great ability to reverse black and white! Your Majesty, the ministers also impeached, impeached Wang Mingyi for arsonizing and kidnapping Qin Feng's family, and killing people. Please ask Your Majesty to call the shots for my nephew Qin Feng! ”
"Lu Guogong's words are wrong, you said that the Wang family kidnapped Qin Feng's wife Gao Ziyan, but what evidence is there, this matter has not been investigated in Dali Temple, and it is not necessary that it was instructed by others. The person said, as far as I know, Gao Ziyan has always been a god-given maid, not the fiancée as Lu Guogong said, for the sake of a maid, she led someone to break into the mansion of the official department of the court, and committed murder, which is simply bold. Cui Yaokun stood up and said to Cheng Jin.
"Cui Yaokun, what are you fartting, Gao Ziyan is my uncle and brother Bao hired for Qin Feng, and I am a matchmaker with Wei Chi, do you want to tell you? The Wang family can kidnap the fiancée of the marquis of the dynasty, so they don't allow my nephew Qin Feng to take someone to break into the mansion and ask for someone? Cheng Yanjin pointed to Cui Yaokun's nose and said.
"Enough! Is the main hall of Dang I a vegetable market? Where is Dai Zheng? Li Shimin looked at the noisy crowd and was absolutely upset.
"The minister is here!"
"How's the kidnapping going? I only gave you three days at the beginning, but today the three-day period has arrived, why don't you report to your ministers! ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the arrested Wang family guard confessed and said... Dai Zheng was a little hesitant.
"After confessing, tell me who instructed the kidnapping!" Since you have recruited it, don't you say it earlier, what are you doing, Li Shimin shouted angrily.
