Throne room.

Emperor Xiang Yanran has not yet arrived.

Cai and the big eunuch didn't come either, and it seemed that they were delayed by something.

The princes, the three dukes, and the courtiers were already standing on both sides of the court, waiting for the emperor to come to the early court.

Li Rong, the king of Ping, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, with a look that the sky had nothing to do with me when the sky fell.

Prime Minister Kong Hanyou and Imperial Historian Wang Su stood with their hands in their hands, and the ministers of the Imperial History Platform and the Prime Minister's Mansion next to them seemed to be discussing something important in a low voice.

From time to time, some ministers looked at Xiao Duhou with shocked, confused, complicated, and gloating eyes.

There is no such thing as an impermeable wall.

Especially after the emperor made up his mind, the "Policy on Prohibiting the Private Minting of Copper Coins" was about to be implemented.

Soon there was some gossip from the eunuchs in the palace, and it was said that there was a "big traitor" who advised the emperor to take back the world's copper mines and strictly forbid the minting of copper coins.

This traitor is too bad, flattering the emperor and looting the people's fat and ointment!

As for who this big traitor is, there is no need to say more, they can know who it is by glancing in the direction of a certain little faint marquis.

If Xiao Duhou hadn't offered this strategy of cutting off people's wealth, he would have been greatly praised by the emperor and become the first in the annual palace test?

I think that at the beginning, the emperor was so annoyed that the little dusk marquis demoted him to the son-in-law of the Ping Wangfu. In a blink of an eye, he tried to give the Xiaoduhou Palace a good armor, and an official did it.

This shows that the little dusk marquis came up with this bastard's idea very early on to flatter the emperor's favor.

Hmph, wait for bad luck!

Many Confucian officials were secretly happy, waiting to see a lively scene.

...

Chu Tianxiu stood in the middle of the princes and princes, very uncomfortable.

The ministers are actually better, except for the top ten gate lords in Jinling, the three princes and the nine kings and other big officials, in fact, not every household has a mine.

Cutting flesh is not necessarily cut on them.

And the princes... Each of them has a fief, and it is true that every household has a mine.

They looked at Chu Tianxiu's gaze and couldn't wait to eat him.

"Little Dusk Hou, do you have a copper mine at home?"

Dong Qinggui, who was beside Chu Tianxiu, asked in a low voice.

"Are you asking the Duhou Mansion or the Danyang County Lord's Mansion?

The mine in the Duhou Mansion has been dug early. My wife's mine has been digging hard for the past few months, and it is almost half of it! ”

Chu Tianxiu scratched his head and said.

It seems that many ministers know about this matter, and they can't hide it anymore, so they simply admit it.

"So, you are going to offer a plan to ban the private minting of copper coins? ... You soft-shelled turtle, you have such a good relationship with your father, and I still peed with you when I was a child.

Why don't you reveal it to me in advance, I'll dig a little more. ”

That peaceful and cheerful jumping feet.

The fief of his Dong family's marquis mansion was barren, and his family had no property, so he relied on a small copper mountain in this fiefdom to earn a large amount of copper money.

Originally, I wanted to dig slowly, and leave a little wealth for future generations.

With this ban of the imperial court, at least half of the income was cut.

Future generations will also suffer.

"It's... I just said it casually, thinking that the imperial court would not really ban copper mines, but I knew that the emperor went to my heart. ”

Chu Tianxiu sneered.

Beside him, he didn't know the prince, and suddenly said with pity: "Xiao Duhou, our Great Chu Dynasty is up and down, and the princes, kings and grandsons who eat this bowl of rice have hundreds of families, and you have offended all in one breath."

Our mine is all small money, and if the emperor really wants to take it back, forget it. After all, the world is royal, and if he wants to take it away, we have no choice.

However, the great princes of Wu and Chu have a lot of mines... Their family has a big business and tens of thousands of soldiers, so they may not be able to swallow this breath. ”

The princes nodded their heads in deep agreement.

The little dusk marquis actually proposed to the emperor to cut off a piece of their big fat meat, of course they were extremely heartbroken.

However, they don't need to do anything to the little dusk.

After all, they are at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they have the laws and disciplines of the court, and they dare not do anything big.

Naturally, there were those arrogant princes and kings, protesting to the imperial court, and even cleaning up the little faint marquis. The princes and kings were in their own fiefdoms, far away from the emperor, but they didn't have so many scruples, and they might send assassins to assassinate the Marquis of Xiao Du.

Chu Tianxiu glanced at the princes and princes with disdain.

That is to say, Da Chu did not prohibit the private minting of copper coins, and in the future generations, those who dared to make copper coins by themselves would have been killed a long time ago.

This group of guys is eating the meal of the Emperor of Great Chu, and now they are not allowed to mint copper coins privately, and now they can't wait for the princes and kings to rebel.

The new policy of the imperial court is a revolution.

Revolution is not a dinner party!

The revolution is to cut the meat, to cut the fat of this group of powerful princes and gate lords, so that the court has more money to do big things.

There is not enough money, "replacing simplicity with paper, building a large number of new colleges, disaster relief, digging ditches to irrigate farmland, raising hundreds of thousands of cavalry..... where does this money come from.

Not to mention the destruction of the princes and the fight against the Huns, these two major events cost countless silver.

It is no wonder that the emperor was so disappointed in this group of princes and nobles, and they all stared at the mine at home and refused to let go.

Who will pay for the major affairs of the imperial court?

If the imperial court can't even control the copper coins, and the magnates can't seize the copper coins one by one, what kind of New Deal revolution will they make.

Afraid of the princes rebelling?!

The hundreds of thousands of troops raised by the Great Chu Imperial Court, reorganized the armaments, and fought hard for ten years, are used to eat vegetarians? !

The world of Da Chu is not killed, is it obtained by drinking and eating?

tried every means to make money, this was clearly the emperor's will, but he just said it through the mouth of his little faint marquis.

This group of princes sneered, what did they do in front of his little dusk! Have the ability to shout at the emperor.

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but feel annoyed when he thought of this.

...

Waited for a while.

Emperor Xiang Yanran, surrounded by all the eunuchs and guards, finally came to the Jinluan Hall and took a seat on the throne.

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"

The courtiers were silent for a moment, looking at each other, but no one said a word.

Almost all of them heard the rumors, in the face of the big matter of the ban on copper coins, everything else is a small matter, and there is no need to rush it.

"The minister has a play, on the "Prohibition of Private Minting of Copper Coins"!"

Chu Tianxiu stood up, took out a note, and said: "In the market, there are common copper coins of all colors, some thin and thick, some large and some small.

In order to make profits, profiteers often make thin and small copper coins, and even mix iron and lead coins, and the situation is getting worse and worse. As a result, the good and bad copper coins in the market are uneven, and the bad money drives out the good money, which makes the people unbearable.

For the sake of the world, the court should mint regular copper coins in a unified manner to facilitate the circulation of the world. The world's copper mines were seized and returned to the imperial court. Regardless of princes and grandchildren, princes and counties, it is forbidden to mint coins.

In order to set an example, the minister was willing to donate his family's copper mine. ”

"The minister is against!"

"This is the imperial court to loot the people's fat and ointment, and compete with the people for profit. How many people in the world rely on minting copper coins to eat. As soon as this policy came out, the people thought that the imperial court was going to loot wealth, and everyone was in danger. When people are uneasy, the world will be in turmoil! ”

"Your Majesty, don't believe the words of the little dusk marquis! Xiao Duhou's strategy, this is to frame His Majesty for injustice, and bear the infamy of competing with the people for profit! He is a faint marquis, how can you believe the words of a faint marquis! ”

"The minister dared to assert that if this policy was forced. The world is panicking, and within three months, the world will definitely be in turmoil! The culprit is Xiao Duhou! ”

"Little Dusk Marquis, disaster to the country and the people, his heart should be punished!"

"Yes, yes, take it to the vegetable market, and be the culprit of framing the king, mutilating the people, and cholera in the world! Tell the world to set an example! Those who dare to offer this strategy again will be punished by the whole world! ”

Immediately, many ministers and princes were heartbroken, raised their arms and shouted, strongly opposed.
